A rigid plate of negligible mass rests on the middle spring which is higher than the two outer springs by  20 mm. The middle spring consists of 24 turns of 25-mm diameter wire on a mean diameter of 150 mm.  The two outer springs have 16 turns of 12-mm diameter wire on a mean diameter of 100 mm. Determine  the shearing stress developed in each spring if P = 5 kN is applied. Use the Approximate formula. Use G  = 83 GPa. Answer: τm= 95.39 MPa

Question

A rigid plate of negligible mass rests on the middle spring which is higher than the two outer springs by 
20 mm. The middle spring consists of 24 turns of 25-mm diameter wire on a mean diameter of 150 mm. 
The two outer springs have 16 turns of 12-mm diameter wire on a mean diameter of 100 mm. Determine 
the shearing stress developed in each spring if P = 5 kN is applied. Use the Approximate formula. Use G 
= 83 GPa.

Answer: τm= 95.39 MPa

 

P=5 kN
